<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>This started out as a discussion of the
appropriate of Hursh's sentence for rape.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>I will continue that after these
remarks:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>1. Despite their rhetoric, I
challenge both Ramalingam and Kovis to show that any thing I have posted in this
thread is contrary to known facts. I won't dwell on the misrepresentations
and falsehoods of others. I purposely included the repository link several times
so that those interested could check the factual matters therein.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>2. Competent defense counsel
are an indispensible part of the criminal justice system. In my opinion
both Kovis and Ramalingam are very competent defense attorneys. The
problem for the public is that present their skills, especially courtroom
skills, greatly exceed that of the prosecutor's office. This creates
a disadvantage for the public in the advocate system.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>Both Kovis and Ramalingam argue that the rape
sentence is appropriate given the guilty plea, arguing that this was just sex
between consenting partners, and therefore prison time or further penalties are
not warranted regardless of the ages and the circumstances
involved.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>Had this been an isolated case in the
defendant Hursh's life, I would agree that prison time would not be
appropriate if other reasonable penalties, sanctions, and rehabilitative
remedies could be applied. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>However, while the rape charge was being
adjudicated (for what seems a longer than necessary time), Hursh was charged
with the five offenses in CR-2009-0005406. He plead guilty to some of
these charges, and was sentenced to two to five years in the penitentiary.
The judge retained jurisdiction, and Hursh was sent to and completed a short
term, most likely at Cottonwood and probation. The penalty in the rape
case was decided after the incarceration part of the CR-2009-0005406 sentence
was completed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>Here's the problem: The crimes plead
guilty to in CR-2009-0005406 occurred and sentencing disposed of while
the rape case was still being adjudicated. The rape case was filed shortly
after the disposition (guilty) of a malicious destruction of property
case. This does not instill confidence in me of the character or
the propensity to respect the law of Hursh. On trial for one felony
just over month after being found guilty of another crime, Hursh is charged
with a further felony and other crimes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>This is not the portrait of a choir boy, but
unfortunately a troubling picture of someone with criminal tendencies.
Therefore I think that the sentence of a $305 fine, 30 days discretionary
jail time, and a withheld judgment is too light.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>Repeating, I think the sentence too
light:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>So is $305 fine, five years of probation, a
withheld judgment, and 30 days of discretionary jail time going
to:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>1. Deter Hursh from further
crimes?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>2. Make the public safer from
further offences?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>3. Offer rape and other serious
crime victims the assurance that reporting the offense(s) and being subjected to
the trauma of court process is worth the probable outcome in the criminal
justice system?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>4. Motivate law enforcement to
expend the effort to work up winnable cases?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>5. Rehabilitate the now
habitually criminal defendant?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>I doubt it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>This is not an issue where agreement can reached
by appealing just to facts, values, and method. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>There is no established, agreed upon method for
deciding the "right" sentence. That's why we have judges. But judges
are not infallible. Some are bright, conscientious, concerned, and work
very hard at their positions; some are naive, lazy, and are isolated from the
public and reality to the extent they do not appear to understand the
consequences of their actions. This is just not a reflection on second
district judges. I spent a lot of time observing the court system in the
first district. There were some very fine judges there, and some in my
opinion who were not suited for that position, and grave errors were made and
horrible injustices occurred.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>No one can accurately predict the future behavior
of another, especially of those who have committed serious crimes. There
is no known magic, guaranteed rehabilitation remedy which insures that
criminal propensities will be held in check. Contrary to the holdings of
many defense counsel, I believe that when there is a reasonable question of
probable further risk to the public, the public's interest deserves the highest
consideration.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>I hope that we do not see Hursh's name in further
adverse proceedings in the repository. But I have no confidence that this
will be the case, just as it was with James Curtis Leonard.</FONT></DIV>

Wayne,<BR><BR>Quit crawling on your belly, you dishonest and dishonorable
colostomy bag, before you question my integrity. The bulk of my work in
criminal defense was as a public defender, which did little for my financial
bottom line. I sure didn't make a pot of money doing it. Latah County
pays its two main PDs a flat rate, no matter how hard they work or how many
cases they have. If anything, it was in my financial interest to have fewer
cases charged, or to do less work on each case I was appointed to, so that I
could collect the same amount and do more private work. But what does
someone like you care about facts? The next time you honestly discuss these
issues will be the first.<BR><BR>And since I am not currently practicing law,
I have nothing to gain by what I'm saying here. I doubt either judge in Latah
County loses any time on this listserve in any case.<BR><BR>I referred to the
misdemeanor from 2009, before the felonies to which he pled at the same time.
That comprised his history before the next two events, at least in Tom's post.
Having now scrolled all the way to the bottom of his page on the repository,
the only other case of note is a reckless driving. I don' t know the facts of
that charge, and I don't know if he indeed drove recklessly or was
overcharged. I only know he pled to an infraction in the end. Again, the past
as it shows up on the repository would not have led to a prison sentence. No,
I don't think his speeding violations are serious.<BR><BR>Tom, it's the same
statute whether it's stat or forceful rape; there are just different
subsections. That doesn't tell you anything. I know that the law says there's
no consensual sex with someone under 18. Isn't that a legal fiction? Are you
seriously telling me that someone under 18 is incapable of deciding for
himself or herself if they wish to have sex? Is that law some sacred thing? If
yes, then shouldn't every male having sex with his underage girlfriend go to
prison for as long as the guy who breaks into a house and rapes someone
forcefully? There's no difference, right? Or are thinking people able to
discern a difference?<BR><BR>If so, are the laws that criminalize
homosexuality or smoking weed equally sacred? <BR><BR>Sunil<BR><BR>

<DIV>Count up the felonies.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's one thing to argue on the basis of the facts, it's quite something
different to be less than candid about the facts themselves and apparently the
clear definition of rape in IC 18-6101.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After you have read the information in the link above form your own
opinion about the truth of counsel's remarks so far and their
integrity.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am not attacking the advocate system. It is the best we can have
given human error. But criminal defense counsel make their living from
those accused of crime. The more clients they have and the better they
are at getting the best outcomes for their clients, the more successful and
prosperous they become. It is to their economic advantage, if not
necessity, to have crimes committed -- more crimes mean more
opportunities for income/success. It is also to their advantage to curry
favor with judges under attack by making ill-formed,
failure-to-honestly-address the issues raised arguments.</DIV>

Tom,<BR><BR>I don't think you or Wayne knew anything about this case when
you started posting. You don't know if this is a case of statutory
rape or if it was by force, do you?<BR><BR>What basis do you have to say
"But in all cases, No means NO!" when in the stat rape cases, both parties
are saying "Yes?" You're just throwing out a cliche that doesn't apply in
the stat rape setting.<BR><BR>He's on probation. If he violates probation
then he could be sentenced to serve the 2-7, and he could also be sentenced
on the rape, to anything the judge could have sentenced him to when he first
appeared for his sentencing. That gives the judge a wide range of sentences
if he doesn't comply with his probation. The judge will also take into
account the sort of violation, should one occur. They are not all the same,
and do not all deserve imposition of a sentence, no matter what some of the
shrill voices here think.<BR><BR>But why let either facts or ignorance of
the facts get in the way of a diatribe? Yes, Hursh has a misdemeanor. That's
not going to tip the balance into a fixed prison term. And having
represented him on that charge, yes, I'm aware of it.<BR><BR>Of course Wayne
only brings things like this up so he can rail about the prosecutor's
office, our district judge, and then drag Steve Sitler into it. Oh, and
James Leonard too. The facts are irrelevant to him.
